Apple Finally Releases the Long Awaited Apple AirPods

Apple and select retailers like PortableOne.com began taking pre-orders for the long awaited Apple AirPods. The AirPods retail for $159.00 ea but Apple isn't offering an estimated shipping date for these.

The AirPods were first announced along with the iPhone 7 and have been delayed ever since. Critics haven't been short on complaints either. Stemming from eliminating the audio jack all together, to how easy it will be to lose the AirPods, risk of washing them in the laundry and now the question has been raised... "What if I lose one, my only option for replacement is to buy a completely new pair?"...

Here are some of Apple's selling points for the AirPods:

"AirPods will forever change the way you use headphones. Whenever you pull your AirPods out of the charging case, they instantly turn on and connect to your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. Audio automatically plays as soon as you put them in your ears and pauses when you take them out. To adjust the volume, change the song, make a call, or even get directions, just double-tap to activate Siri."
